C Tuning, High "G"
C Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. The same as the higher
four strings of a standard tuned guitar with a capo at the fifth fret with string four
"G" one octave higher.
For setting up music notation programs like Finale and Sibelius this tuning is:
MIDI: G = G3, C = C4, E = E4, A = A4
C4 is middle C.
C Tuning, Low "G"
Low 'G', C Tuning - For Soprano, Concert and Tenor ukulele. Same
as Key of "C" Tuning but with string four one octave lower. This is the same as placing
a capo at the fifth fret of a standard tuned guitar.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books! — Peter Rhee
